This dataset shows the emergency crossover and contraflow arm gate points along I-16 to enable contraflow for coastal evacuation such as hurricanes. Normally, Interstate 16 carries east and westbound traffic. In the event of a mandatory evacuation from coastal Georgia, I-16 eastbound lanes will become contra-flow lanes, or reverse lanes. All I-16 lanes will be westbound traffic only from Savannah to west of U.S. 441 in Dublin, a total of 125 miles. Georgia DOT also can contra flow other interstates in the case of emergencies.
